Canadian music scene during the Nickelback moment: "unashamedly and unapologetically pop." The band's second gig supporting New Order followed by touring the United States as a support act for Duran Duran. They released the Dragonette (EP), which contained the early versions of "Jesus Doesn't Love Me," "Competition," and "I Get Around", which would later appear on "Galore". Prior to signing their record contract, the Dragonette (EP) was independently released for promotional reasons only and the songs gained the attention of many critics such as the music blog Popjustice where they were named the #1 pop act to look out for in 2007.

At one point there were three conflicting "release dates." Perhaps there was confusion over the release date, or perhaps it simply was not stocked in record shops outside London. Also, the fact that "I Get Around" was available to download for free from the band's website in 2005, and was previously released as part of the compilation album "Robopop" (back in 2006), certainly did nothing to help its performance as a hit single in 2007.

On February 7, 2007, the video for the track "Jesus Doesn't Love Me", which was filmed in December 2006, leaked onto the internet, through the band's MySpace and also Popjustice. The video has since been removed from MySpace, as it was not intended to be viewed at that time. A 'taster' of this video

Sorbara and Kurtz met at a music festival; their early relationship is the inspiration for the song "Competition". Calling themselves The Fuzz, they began making music together in their basement studio for fun. Their music, dirty, hook-heavy and blatantly sex-driven, was different from the rest of

Sorbara was a moderately successful singer-songwriter before Dragonette. She released two albums (in 1998 and 2000) and also provided vocals for a track on the 2003 movie soundtrack for Uptown Girls. Kurtz has since referred to Sorbara's early work as "tampon music" or "the soundtrack to a girl

Kurtz, who is also a member of the livetronica trio The New Deal, had produced Feist's album "Monarch (Lay Your Jewelled Head Down)". Craig, Dragonette's original guitarist, also worked on a track for the same album.

the band's song "Get Lucky" was being featured in a Vicks, JCPenney, and Dell television commercials; it was also featured in the 2009 soundtrack for the motion picture Hotel for Dogs (film).
